Corporate ownership of most property. A rent burden of over 50%. No mass transit options.

People aren't paying enough attention re: car prices.

We're going to run out of affordable used cars very, very soon. New cars are obscenely expensive and people will not be able to afford them with rent costs exploding.

Yep. And the MBTA is irredeemable. Mass transit will only start failing more and more and certainly won't be built out to areas where housing is more affordable. In fact, the new law reinforces that by demanding high density housing in areas "served," by the MBTA, only those areas will receive resources to keep the system running (and I use that word loosely.)
